Thank you for your interest in volunteering!!! We cannot do this without you.
Tempe Union District requires fingerprint clearance for any volunteer position where you may have contact with students without a district employed staff member present (ex. first aid, chaperone, uniforms, etc).
Please note that this process has been updated so it is different from what you may have done in the past.
It now requires both online paperwork completion and an appointment with the TUHSD Human Resources department to confirm your documents.
TUHSD Volunteer Clearance Directions below:
*If you already have an active Fingerprint Clearance Card, skip to step #4.
1. Create an account and apply for a Fingerprint Clearance Card Fingerprint Clearance Card | Department of Public Safety (azdps.gov)
2. They will then provide documents needed to visit a local office for fingerprinting.
3. You will then receive your card in the mail.
